Grade 7 was close behind, with ELA at 72.13% and math at 68.85%.

Across all reported tests, ELA and math simple averages slipped (down 1.26 and 1.85 points), while the overall average edged up to 61.53%. Notably, the school's rank history declined from 447 of 1,061 (58th percentile, 3 stars) in 2023–2024 to 525 of 1,039 (49th percentile, 2 stars) in 2025–2026.
